Child Guidance

The Child Guidance Clinic is part of the primary prevention, diagnostic, and treatment services offered by the Major County Health Department and the Oklahoma State Department of Health. Children birth to 18 years of age and their families are served by this program. We believe parents are an essential part of any services provided to a child and they are involved throughout the course of intervention. Guidance staff include a Psychologist and a Speech/Language Pathologist.

Fees are based on a sliding scale and are determined by the annual gross income and size of the family. Medicaid and insurance are accept4ed. No one is refused services because of an inability to pay.

  • Evaluation and Screening
  • Prevention and Education
  • Individual, Family, and Group Intervention
  • Consultation and Referral

Call the Garfield County Health Department at (580) 233-0650 for an appointment.
